There's plenty of other countries with freedom.

I've heard this too. Granted, not all Americans say this, but I have read countless comments from Americans stating they have 'more' freedom. And the question arises: more freedom than whom? Like everyone else though, some Americans are well-read and and interested to learn about the rest of the word, and some are inherently stupid (like all races) and are blissfully unaware that world does not consist of America only.
Take that idiot's comment above that everyone wants to go to America. A pure case in point. If everyone worshipped America to that extent, then there'd be no wars involving the US would there?

Why does asker assume the United States thinks this? The United States is a country -- it's an abstraction. It cannot think. The people in the United States do not believe they're in the only free country in the world.

I know we're not. If anything, we're one of the worse countries about this. We are NOT free, and most of us don't believe we are. The problem is that what the rest of the world sees regarding us is the f*cking stupid government officials that would give anything to get more money and just a few more votes. No one sees the individual civilian's opinion anymore.

very fine question. And it is a pain for all of those who live in countries other than the us and consider ourselves free, such a here in australia.
Something to do with being the biggest richest country i would guess. Don't worry it'l pass

Who thinks that? I'm an American and I certainly don't think we're the only free country in the world. In fact, I don't know anyone that thinks that.

Maybe because the majority of the nation chooses who leads us. We aren't bound to having one single family rule our entire nation.
No country is totally free my friend, no country.

When you say the united states thinks that, who do you mean? I'm from the u.s. I never said I thought that. But I did think that. But you didn't know I thought that so what are you saying

Thats very true, but America has a reputation. We try to help so we can gain natinal pride as oppose to natinal reason.
